In her Reddit "Ask Me Anything" today, TV star/series creator/writer/dream BFF Mindy Kaling revealed some some choice trivia about herself (if she were a Disney princess, she'd be Ursula the Sea Witch, and she's obsessed with The X-Files), her shows (that "fashion show at lunch" chant from The Office was the brainchild of Paul Lieberstein) and her squad goals (Robert Downey Jr, Lupita Nyongo, Gilda Radner and Ronda Rousey.) But she also revisited familiar territory: the issue of diversity on The Mindy Project.

One questioner asked: "For a show produced by a woman of color, why does your show have very little diversity?"

Great question. I think I disagree with your premise. We have six series regulars. One, the lead, is me, an Indian woman. Another is an African American woman. That's a third of our cast - although of course I hate to think of us in those terms. Utkarsh and Randall Park both recur on our show. I do think it's important though, we can always do better. I always think it's funny that I'm the only asked about this when sitcoms I love with female leads rarely date men of color. I guess white women are expected to date white men. I'm expected to "stick to my own".

The questioner also asked why the show included a "stereotypical 'sassy black woman' character"

I think you're talking about Tamra. I'm sad you reduce her to a "sassy black woman". Xosha [Roquemore] is hilarious and gorgeous and nails lines like "A cranberry turtleneck is what you give your aunt graduating from court reporter school." Is it because Tamra wants to be famous and loves to perform at work and puts a value on superficial things? I loved playing that as Kelly on the Office, and I love that Tamra is young, loves celebrity, and is confident and into herself. I hate that it's reduced to someone else's version of a racial stereotype.

Kaling also took time to tease some dream scenarios for upcoming episodes:

On a suggestion for a Broad City/Mindy Project crossover episode: "I love Ilana and Abbi. Nothing would make me happier than if Mindy was their gynecologist. Like, they found her on a Groupon."

On returning characters: "We have some great ideas for bringing back Christina. In the second half of the season we're hoping to get Chloe Sevigny back to hear some of her perspective on Danny-Christina's break-up. Chloe is one of my favorite actors."

But perhaps the most troubling piece of information to come out of the AMA? Apparently, there is some dummy out there who didn't know he was on a date with Mindy Kaling:

The worst date I've ever been on was with a guy who I was super excited about, really attracted to, and then on the date it became apparent that it WASNT a date. He was just a straight dude who was psyched to have dinner with me in a platonic way. He talked about an actress he really wanted to date and we split the check. Thus is dating in Los Angeles.
